What are the two parts of a 2D shape?
- A 2D shape has two main parts.
- The first part is called the "sides." These are the straight lines that make the shape.
- The second part is called the "corners" or "vertices." These are the points where two sides meet.
Examples:
- Rectangle:
- A rectangle has 4 sides and 4 corners.
- The sides are the long and short edges, while the corners are where they join.
- Triangle:
- A triangle has 3 sides and 3 corners.
- The sides are the edges, and the corners are the points where the sides meet.
- Circle:
- A circle is a bit different because it has no sides but has a special shape around the edge called the "curved side."
- A circle also doesn't have corners, but you can think of the middle point as kind of special!
